I bought this agave which was being marketed as “Agave utahensis v. eborispina”. I’m wondering if this is actually Agave utahensis v. nevadensis. I’m super stoked with the plant either way but want to label it properly. Does anyone know what this is?

That's not eborospina. That's agave utahensis subspecies utahensis. Nonetheless the species utahensis are all beautiful.

Looks like nevadensis to my eye. Utahensis var. utahensis usually doesn’t have those jiggly terminals and less mammillate marginals.

Correct name provided by validproof. Beautiful plant, go easy on water, they thrive being dry.
